Ye...Thank you for being brave enough to post this. Yesterday we learned of an Israeli soldier who is facing criminal charges by police for comparing this man to Hitler. This only further proves what is being said about this despicable man. <br /><br />http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/172681#.UlY9CdJHLEJAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13261933.post-81802413699501912722013-10-09T13:44:48.252-05:002013-10-09T13:44:48.252-05:00Miriam, notice I specifically said African America...Miriam, notice I specifically said African Americans in the excerpt below:<br /><br />_____________________________________________<br /><br />He didn't have much use apparently for African Americans either (though I can't imagine that any African Americans gave a hoot what he thought about anything), He said of black people hurt by hurricane <br />Katrina, per Ynet:<br /><br /><br />"There was a tsunami and there are terrible natural disasters, because there isn't enough Torah study… black people reside there (in New Orleans). Blacks will study the Torah? (God said) let's bring a tsunami and drown them."<br /><br />"Hundreds of thousands remained homeless. Tens of thousands have been killed. All of this because they have no God."<br />________________________________________________<br /><br /><br />Many evil people are complicated and do some good things. However, in my mind that doesn't excuse their evil. In my opinion, the mind of this man was full of hatred and it leapt out of his mouth too many times to go without notice.Oread Dailyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02726848708021220961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13261933.post-71740213249443102742013-10-09T06:03:44.510-05:002013-10-09T06:03:44.510-05:00"How could anyone have anything even remotely..."How could anyone have anything even remotely nice to say about this man?" you ask. <br /><br />Well, let me say that I totally agree with you that Ovadia Yosef said many horribly racist and sexist things. He did, no question. But you are being willfully ignorant when you imply that he wanted to drown black people. When the thosands of Ethiopian Jews were airlifted to Israel in the early 1990's, it was Ovadia Yosef who was largely responsible for the Beta Israel community being accepted as Jews. This is one example of how complicated he was.Miriamnoreply@blogger.com
